Natural Heritage New Mexico USGS/CSS/Core Science Analytics and Synthesis Unknown vector digital data http://www1.usgs.gov/vip/sapu/sapugeodata.zip doi:10.5066/F7M043CW Vegetation plots of Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument used to build the classification and map. Field dates range from 2004 - 2007. Plots use the hierarchical classification following the National Vegetation Classification Standard (FGDC 1997 and; 2008).Plot locations were determined using a cluster sampling approach where a series of daily routes for the sampling crews were designed in a GIS using the digital ortho-photography and preliminary vegetation maps. The locations of eight to ten sampling points per route were driven by differences in vegetation, soils, and geologic pattern, plus logistics. Routes were distributed as widely as possible throughout the study area, but the emphasis was on capturing the range of variation within the park. Final plot locations were field-based decisions based on positioning the sampling point in homogenous stands of vegetation and habitat. Plot locations were recorded with a Garmin GPS Model 12 with +/- 10-m accuracy. Total numbers of plots were limited by available resources. Provide a baseline vegetation map for SAPU. Data was imported into a geodatabase by the USGS/CSS/Core Science Analytics and Synthesis.
